It'll be good for testing surround sound systems for your home theater.

Also in the SMASH magazine there was a fold out poster of The George
Washington Crossing the Delaware painting by Emanuel Leutze only with
ape faces painted over the faces. It is really cool... too bad I don't
own a scanner.....

I had forgotten that poster was in that magazine! I loved that
poster.

Greg? ;-)

Hunter

.html.htmlOK, now that you've seen the PLANET trade ad I just posted, here's the POTA trivia question for Easter.

What was the total amount of money PLANET made on the day it opened, February 8, 1968?

Good move on his part, who would have thought.

At the first Star Trek convention (the hotel across
the street from MSG, I forget the name) I worked for a
guy who sold computer print outs of the Enterprise,
Spock and Kirk. I can't remember the name of the
computer magazine that did these. But the print outs
were huge and they were in X's and O's and like 50
pages long.

I was a "geek" working in a magazine store in
Morristown NJ and the editor of the magazine asked me
to go to the convention with him. My parents were
worried but nothing happen, so don't think anything.
The guy just needed some help at the convention and I
got in free. I was happy. Our booth was set up
across the way from the Monster Times Both. I used to
love that magazine, they always seemed to have Apes
stuff.

I also remember Vern Langdon at the first Famous
Monster of Filmland convention, he was a makeup
artist, and he pulled two people out of the audience
to put Ape make up on. I was not fast enough to the
stage. Later that year we did a family vacation to CA
and Universal Studios and Vern was there doing a
Frankenstein and Bride of Frankenstein make up show.
Again I was too slow to the stage. But, my Dad hung
out with me after the show and we got to talk to Vern
and as a "stupid kid" I got to ask a lot of questions
about the ape make-up and Vern could not have been
nicer and put up with my questions.

The dealer rooms were always great and Jerry's booth
always had the best stuff. I bought all my POTA
posters from him (or you) over the years.

Those shows were great!

Tim,

I'll work on it.

My "real job" is with the circus and I do a little bit
of traveling at this time of the year.

As soon as I get some time at home, I will get this
stuff out.

At the moment my wife feels POTA should not be at the
top of my list. Ha - what does she know....

Remember the poster from the Video Series (you had to
send away for it) it was like a Andy Warhol poster
with apes in different primary colors.

I had to stop doing eBay searches for POTA & Kim Hunter

because when I did I nearly always found something I had

to have.  It's better to not know what I'm missing out on.

Apes,

Since it's public aknowledge that the AUTHORS of PLANET meant the
Apes in the saga as being "JUST ordinary apes which learnt to walk
erect and to talk like Humans and to develop a culture of their
own" --- they weren't meant to BE 'Humanoid', as many theorists
including me and Patrick Tilton always theorized.
Actors played them, and that's why they look more "human-like".

Now I ask you:

Is it plausible to think that, in the ALTERNATIVE DIMENSION where
the POTA universe is placed, all the APES in the world are HUMANOID
the way we see on the screen? That meaning that APES like *OURS*
(small) never developed in the first place?
That's why Cornelius and Zira were AT FIRST perceived like
SIMPLE, "PRIMITIVE" chimps wearing human clothes... 'til they
wouldn't have spoken!

What do you think about it?

T.C.

I have to disagree.  I think Sci-fi changes when

POTA came out.  It had a strong story.  And

there really hadn't been a serious Sci-fi flick

with a big budget and blockbuster boxoffice

for over ten years.  Not since Forbidden

Planet in 1956, and that was five years

after The Day The Earth Stood Still.

You did that! I did the exact same thing when I went to a morning
showing of Planet back in 1979 when I was stationed in Texas. But I got
children voices mixed in with the recording. Glad I got my VCR the
following year so I can watch Planet in peace.

I used a Panasonic tape recorder to record PLANET in a theatre
in 1971! I wish I still had that recording as it was a record of where
the film got laughs and such.

I never was much of a STAR WARS fan.  That movie, along with its sequels, made megabucks, but still, my thing was APES.    Zach      -------Original Message-------   From: pota@yahoogroups.com Date: 04/14/06 09:31:18 To: pota@yahoogroups.com Subject: Re: [Planet of the Apes] Re: Pota Phenomenon   In a message dated 4/13/2006 10:56:00 AM Pacific Standard Time, LordTZer0@... writes: In a message dated 4/12/2006 7:46:25 P.M.

It cost $80 bucks!   POTA was shown regularly on broadcast TV and then on Sci-fi when cable became popular.  Why spend a bunch of money for a movie you can tape?

I only spend money when I see something that I want. I check Ebay about
every 2 days.

At the first Star Trek convention (the hotel across
the street from MSG, I forget the name) I worked for a
guy who sold computer print outs of the Enterprise,
Spock and Kirk.  I can't remember the name of the
computer magazine that did these.  But the print outs
were huge and they were in X's and O's and like 50
pages long. 

I was a "geek" working in a magazine store in
Morristown NJ and the editor of the magazine asked me
to go to the convention with him.  My parents were
worried but nothing happen, so don't think anything.
The guy just needed some help at the convention and I
got in free.  I was happy.  Our booth was set up
across the way from the Monster Times Both.  I used to
love that magazine, they always seemed to have Apes
stuff. 

I also remember Vern Langdon at the first Famous
Monster of Filmland convention, he was a makeup
artist, and he pulled two people out of the audience
to put Ape make up on.  I was not fast enough to the
stage.  Later that year we did a family vacation to CA
and Universal Studios and Vern was there doing a
Frankenstein and Bride of Frankenstein make up show.
Again I was too slow to the stage.  But, my Dad hung
out with me after the show and we got to talk to Vern
and as a "stupid kid"  I got to ask a lot of questions
about the ape make-up and Vern could not have been
nicer and put up with my questions.

The dealer rooms were always great and Jerry's booth
always had the best stuff.  I bought all my POTA
posters from him (or you) over the years. 

Those shows were great!  

Yes they were! In those days stars gave autographs and posed for photos for free and hot girls dressed as Orion slave girls!

It's actually a funny story. There was no way to record in those days except to put your audio tape recorder next to the one speaker your TV probably had and hope no one talked while you were recording. I made it till the last 5 minutes or so of the first APES film on CBS for the first time then Mom came in and  said "You wanna wear these pants tomorrow?" I was pretty P.O'ed at the time as I recall but now I think it's funny.

Yeah, I'm pretty sure that's him.

It looks like him.  And it make sense

that he's be the one lighting her ciggie

since he was assigned to her on the shoot.

If anything went wrong with the makeup he's

the one who's going to have to go back and fix it.

The 1976 KING KONG.

And I taped several KISS and Alice Cooper TV appearances by holding my
cassette recorder up to the TV speaker, trying to keep everyone QUIET!

Hunter

Can't wait for this one. I already pre-ordered it.

A friend of mine that was a huge KISS fan, taped them with a hand held cassette recorder
when they made an appearance on the show Fridays. In the background you could hear his
grandmother talking to the dog..."Sandy, stop lapping your leg. Sandy! Sandy! Stop your
lapping". Hilarious.

Peter Criss of Kiss played at a bar in NJ back in the
late 80's called the Cherry Croft. We went to the
club and I taped the show on a little mini tape
recorder.

I gave a copy of the tape to a friend who gave a copy
to someone else, who gave it to someone else and so on
and it is now a bootleg CD in the Kiss circles.

On the tape you can hear us talking about what we are
going to do that weekend and me complaing about one
thing or another.

Saw the CD in a NY record store and I bought it not
knowing it was my recording. Kind of funny to hear
it. The artwork on the cover was better then the
recording.

The 1976 KING KONG.

And I taped several KISS and Alice Cooper TV appearances by holding my
cassette recorder up to the TV speaker, trying to keep everyone QUIET!

Did you tape the "Welcome to My Nightmare" Alice Cooper TV special? I finally just got a fuzzy DVD copy of that one after all these years.

Voodoo is a West African religion that was transplanted to Haiti and
hoodoo is a system of primarily Central African magical belief and
practice...FYI...=)

Hello Elaine
I was told by a rep at Sideshow that the line isn't dead but on hold
because the Ape fans didn't show an interest. I suggested on this
group and two other Ape groups for every one to send an email to
Sideshow requesting more figures to be made. In response all I
received was how bad the Sideshow figures looked and that they cost to
much. So sad.

No, he meant 'Hoodoo', from Lidsville. Now that would be a great
Sideshow figure. At least I fooled a couple of people. I would love
to see Sideshow produce some more figures, especially Zaius and Julius
enjoying their cigars. We're more likely to see figures from 'F Troop.

Sorry if I got your hopes up Elaine. If you thought that was good,
you should have seen my phony album cover for 'Tatooine You' featuring
the songs:
Tark Me Up
Little R2 and D2
Black Landspeeder

Who didn't show an interest?  I got all the figures from PLANET and The Lawgiver.

Who here didn't at least get The Lawgiver?  That was a must have!

Julius would be what I want, but not with fake fur on the arms.  It would have to be plastic like the head.

They should also do a lobotomized Landon.

But what I'd really like is the SEE NO EVIL tribunal with chairs and table.  That would be cool.

I think that what Sideshow should do is two separate dioramas. The
first one they should do is a 2 foot replica of the Statue of Liberty
when Taylor stumble across it and the second I think should be the
Alpha-Omega bomb with Taylor pushing the detonator with Zaius looking
on. Instead of concentrating on toys, they should be concentrating on
dioramas.

I like the tribunal idea. I also like the idea of a young Caesar in a
breakaway tree (chasing his pet squirrel) with Aldo.

I have multiples of all figures (had to have friends purchase extra
exclusives for me)and only gave positive responses to sideshow. I
think the line headed for trouble when they decided to make the
bearded Taylor the exclusive, and the Astronaut Taylor sans beard the
mass produced one. Not too bright.

Well, all in all, I can't see how Sideshow thinks the Ape line was a
failure. The majority of them are on second chance grabs which means
they were sold out and became avialiable due unsold stock. I think
they are just being plain butts about it. They want to cash in on
some big money fast and so they do the Star Wars and Lord of the
Rings; the same line that every other toy company is mass producing.
I won't give up my fight for the Ape line. I sned them a letter at
least once a month asking for more Ape figures.

I"m a huge fanatic of 1970s tv shows and that is the only thing I
watch - I dont even get 1 channel hooked up to my TV - i just watch
old stuff. One thing I love is continually bumping into actors from
the POTA movies who of course kept working in film and television.
Many actors I've seen at least 5 times as I have watched series such
as Kolchak, Quincy, Wonder Woman, Fantasy Island, Six Million Dollar
Man, Star Trek, Land Of The Lost, etc.

I wondered if anyone else here collects appearances by other stars
from the POTA movies

- Requiem for C.Z. Smith (1974) TV Episode .... Sonny DuPrix
Coma (1978) (as Harry Rhodes) .... Dr. Morelind
The Hostage Heart (1977) (TV) (as Harry Rhodes) .... Don Harris
"Roots" (1977) (mini) TV Series (as Harry Rhodes) .... Brima Cesay

I havent got a copy yet but do plan to get it eventually. Has anyone
else purchased it? Any comments? How is the quality of the cartoons?

I have listed my entire inventory of very rare and oddball POTA
comics and magazines from the 1970s from foreign countries such as
Finland, Australia, Germany, Mexico, UK etc.

Some great deals if you want some of the rarest POTA items ever made
If you have further info on any of these series let me know as I am
always trying to learn more about them.

I also plan to put up a photo gallery at the
POTA International Fan Club site soon
when I can find time to finally update the site

Yeah, I bought the bearded Taylor.  If You have the bearded one, then you have a Taylor that's in most of the movie.  You can just change his clothes.  Not that I do.  I have the bearded Taylor set up on one of my bookcases, holding his cigar and doing doing else but collecting dust.

I think we should all start emailing them to death.  We need to remind them that 2008 is the 40th Anniversary of the original film and that they should do something special.

What's the email address, and who specifically should we try to contact?  Let's fight like apes for something in 2008!

No, I don't admit that.  It was fun back when I first saw it, but it was a pale thing next to the greatness of the original, and it hasn't stood the test of time.

But let's not get off the subject here!
